abstract:
In this paper I raise a couple of objections against Rodriguez-Pereyra's version of resemblance nominalism. First, I argue that Rodriguez-Pereyra's solution to the so-called imperfect community difficulty is untenable. Second, I argue that Rodriguez-Pereyra's idea that sparse properties are bound to be lowest determinates, while determinable properties of any degree are to be treated as (infinite?) disjunctions of determinates, is liable to undermine the whole project.
